Yelling

Yelling describes loud parrot vocalization.

DEFINITION OF YELLING

The noise a parrot can make when it wishes to do so.

CAUSES OF YELLING

The avian species kept as companion animals are not silent creatures. Even tiny finches constantly make little beeping noises, and the large macaws can produce window-shattering noise that is audible for miles in the wilds of South and Central America. Making sounds is, therefore, natural and parrots are especially famous for this.

WHAT TO DO

Bird owners need to understand that companion birds are not quiet animals, and if silence is crucial to a person’s life, then living with a pet bird will not necessarily be a happy thing. Whether people like the racket is not the point, as yelling is a natural behavior. A person’s dislike of the noise does not make it a “behavior problem.” Indeed, that just makes it a human’s problem, as the bird is only being itself.
